Manufacturing Engineering Intern

June - August 2021 • Chelmsford, MA

What I liked

There was always work available so that all of my time was spent applying skills rather than idling at my desk.

What I wish was different

The first two weeks were slow while management found a project for me to work on. Though the company made up for this by having me help out on the manufacturing floor.

What I liked

The culture, the people, the work schedule. It’s a great place to be.

More organized work load. It’s a little tough as an intern, it seems most of the other interns had periods of time where they didn’t know what to do.

Marketing Intern

May 2019 • Chelmsford, MA

What I liked

I was very hand-on in my projects. I was able to design and edit campaigns for their social media and take on multiple projects over the summer. I was working for two divisions of the marketing department: semiconductor and life sciences. The biggest projects on each side were creating a new website platform for a database and an 8-week video campaign. I am still continuing the position as a contractor.

What I wish was different

Since I was working for both divisions, there was a bit of stress. Normally, I like the high-paced environment, but this summer was too much with work only because I just got off of work from school.

Advice

Make sure you find a job that will recognize your talents and skills. This means they give you work with enough trust, room for creativity, and a great working environment. Honestly, receiving all these things was a blessing. Without these, it can be a stressful experience rather than a learning experience.
